Title: Broody Warren
Post by: DinkyDill on July 24, 2010, 04:58:28 pm

One of our warren hens has gone broody.  She's been sitting for 9 days now and seems serious but we though they never went broody.  Seems she doesn't know that!  Does anyone know what kind of mothers they make?

Thanks

Hun every chickens is different I had a waren that was a fab mum and took on my GS and then a BR that was awful. I would let her get on and if there are signs of trouble take the chicks and hand raise them.
